So, you need the nerdy side of me. I love a challenge. I’ve got an extensive background in the tech sector, from “Thank you for calling support” to TPM, EM, and Director level work. Here are some examples:
FinOps 5 years: Highlights –
- I’ve managed capacity budgets from $100M to $5B, CPU/GPU/Storage.
- Keeping GPUs focused on priority workloads, by creating a rubric for evaluating workloads prior to GPU allocation.
- Saving tens of millions through directed efficiency efforts.
- Driving AWS TAMs and internal engineers to improve tagging coverage.
- Launching unit economics despite internal friction. I’m a Certified FinOps Professional and I spoke at FinOpsX 2025.
Technical Program Management 10 years:
- Managed large-to-huge XFN programs that change how the company works, largely in FinOps, infrastructure, and security. Creating change and managing risk? On it.
- Created tight customer feedback loops for new products, ensuring customers know when requested changes will land, and delivering on those commitments.
- Instantiated XFN coordination on iterative production updates to reduce collision incidents across engineering teams.
- 0->1 Network segregation between corporate and production networks to improve the company’s security stance.
- Built Project Management training for engineers to scale the work of the Tech PMO.
- Interviewed, Trained, and Mentored dozens of project managers, program managers, and engineers over the years.
Engineering Management and Engineering 13 years: Everything from automating tests to writing low-level Java on Android, and managing the teams that do this work. My background is primarily back end.
Consulting 10 years: I’ve sat with a client on my first day at a consultancy, in dialogue with them about our capabilities and constraints.
Customer Support and IT Support 7 years: I started my career picking up a phone, and I also helped Facebook migrate the entire company onto a new domain name, “@fb.com”. That playbook was reused in 2023 to migrate to “@meta.com”, by a prior mentee.
